His outstanding academic performance secured him early admission to the University’s School of Medicine, where he earned his medical degree, solidifying his path to becoming Doctor Baig.
Driven by a strong interest in global and community well-being, Dr. Baig completed a residency program in preventive medicine at the University of Michigan, simultaneously obtaining a Master’s Degree in Public Health (MPH).

Seeking to integrate his public health knowledge with direct patient care, Doctor Baig pursued anesthesiology residency training at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. He then practiced anesthesia in Los Angeles for four years, further honing his skills before undertaking a Pain Medicine Fellowship Program at Stanford University in Palo Alto, specializing in advanced pain management techniques.
